Herbsmith Rx Qi Ju Di Huang San for Cats, Dogs and Horses

Veterinary Authorization Required for TCVM Herbal Formulas - TCVM Pet Supply

Recommended by holistic veterinarians, Herbsmith Rx Qi Ju Di Huang San provides traditional liver and kidney yin nourishment and eye support for dogs, cats, and horses. In TCVM, this eight-herb formula builds on Liu Wei Di Huang San with Gou Qi Zi and Bai Ju Hua, emphasizing nourishment of the eyes and clearing Liver Heat when Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency is the underlying pattern. Available as powder in a Canine Blend for dogs and cats and an Equine/Horse Blend for horses. Dosing varies by species and body weight; your authorizing veterinarian will provide specific guidance.

What It Supports

  • Traditional eye nourishment: Gou Qi Zi and Bai Ju Hua complement the formula's yin-nourishing foundation, with a traditional emphasis on eye comfort and nourishment.
  • Liver and Kidney Yin: Supports the TCVM pattern of combined Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency, particularly when eye-related signs are prominent.
  • Clearing Liver Heat: Bai Ju Hua traditionally clears Liver Heat and brightens the eyes. These are traditional TCVM actions, not a promise to restore vision.
  • Balanced herbal actions: The Liu Wei foundation combines three tonifying herbs with three draining herbs to nourish Yin while addressing accompanying Dampness and Deficiency Heat.

TCVM Principles

  • Primary action: Nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin, traditionally brightens the eyes, and clears Liver Heat.
  • Classical antecedent: Liu Wei Di Huang San, with Gou Qi Zi and Bai Ju Hua added for the formula's traditional eye-focused actions.
  • Pattern selection and precautions: Your authorizing veterinarian should confirm the Yin Deficiency pattern and assess digestive tolerance, particularly in animals with poor appetite or loose stools.
  • Eye-health warning: New or worsening eye redness, squinting, cloudiness, discharge, or changes in vision need prompt veterinary assessment. Herbal support does not replace an eye examination or prescribed eye treatment.

Available Forms

  • Powder - Canine Blend: For dogs and cats; listed in 75 g, 150 g, 500 g, 900 g, and 1200 g sizes. Mix into food.
  • Powder - Equine/Horse Blend: For horses; listed in 150 g, 500 g, 900 g, and 1200 g sizes. Mix into grain.

Suggested Use

  • Canine Blend Powder - Dogs under 30 lbs: ½ teaspoon twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
  • Canine Blend Powder - Dogs 30-80 lbs: 1 teaspoon twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
  • Canine Blend Powder - Dogs 80-120 lbs: 1½ teaspoons twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
  • Canine Blend Powder - Dogs over 120 lbs: 2 teaspoons twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
  • Canine Blend Powder - Cats: ¼ teaspoon twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.
  • Equine/Horse Blend Powder - 1,000 lb horse, initial schedule: Two tablespoons twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian, for 20 days, or as directed by your veterinarian.
  • Equine/Horse Blend Powder - 1,000 lb horse, subsequent schedule: Two tablespoons once daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian.

The existing dog weight ranges overlap at exactly 80 lbs; your authorizing veterinarian must confirm the dose at that weight. If a horse initially refuses the herbs, introduce a small amount in grain and increase gradually toward the veterinarian-directed dose. Veterinary authorization is required. Your veterinarian should confirm the appropriate blend, dose, and duration for your animal and review any medications or other supplements.

Active Ingredient TCVM Actions

Qi Ju Di Huang San combines the Liu Wei foundation's Yin-nourishing, Spleen-supporting, and Dampness-draining layers with the traditional eye-focused actions of Gou Qi Zi and Bai Ju Hua.

Potential Drug Interactions

Qi Ju Di Huang San combines Yin-nourishing herbs with Blood-moving and Dampness-draining herbs, including Mu Dan Pi, Ze Xie, Fu Ling, and Gou Qi Zi. Animals taking prescription medications should use this formula under veterinary supervision because herb-drug interaction research in dogs, cats, and horses is limited.

Medication categories warranting extra caution include anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, insulin and other glucose-lowering medications, diuretics, and multiple prescription medications. Tell your veterinarian about all eye medications as well; do not stop or change prescribed eye treatment when starting this formula. Your veterinarian can determine appropriateness based on your animal's condition, medications, and laboratory results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Qi Ju Di Huang San used for in TCVM?

Qi Ju Di Huang San traditionally nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin, clears Liver Heat, and brightens the eyes. A TCVM veterinarian may consider it when eye-related signs accompany a Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency pattern. The traditional term “brightens the eyes” describes the formula's TCVM action, not a guarantee of improved vision or a substitute for diagnosing an eye condition.

How is Qi Ju Di Huang San administered to dogs, cats, and horses?

Mix the appropriate powder into food or grain. For dogs using the Canine Blend: under 30 lbs, ½ teaspoon twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; 30-80 lbs, 1 teaspoon twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; 80-120 lbs, 1½ teaspoons twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian; over 120 lbs, 2 teaspoons twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. The existing ranges overlap at 80 lbs, so confirm that dose with your authorizing veterinarian. Cats using the Canine Blend receive ¼ teaspoon twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. For a 1,000 lb horse using the Equine/Horse Blend: two tablespoons twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian, for 20 days, or as directed by your veterinarian; then two tablespoons once daily in grain, or as directed by your veterinarian. If a horse initially refuses the herbs, introduce a small amount in grain and increase gradually toward the veterinarian-directed dose.

What should I know before using this formula for eye support?

Eye redness, squinting, cloudiness, discharge, or changes in vision should be assessed promptly by a veterinarian rather than attributed to a TCVM pattern without an examination. Use this formula only with veterinary authorization, and continue prescribed eye care unless your veterinarian changes it. Response and the appropriate reassessment interval depend on the animal's diagnosis and TCVM pattern; a fixed improvement timeline cannot be promised.

How does Qi Ju Di Huang San differ from Liu Wei Di Huang San?

Liu Wei Di Huang San is the six-herb foundation for traditional Kidney Yin nourishment. Qi Ju Di Huang San adds Gou Qi Zi and Bai Ju Hua, placing greater emphasis on Liver nourishment and traditional eye-focused actions. Your authorizing veterinarian can select the formula that matches your animal's individual pattern rather than choosing by an eye symptom alone.
